Default Sturgis,Black Hills...



Loaded with a tent and 2 weeks of stuff!


Lost service a few times, while running, but this is the just of it.


This place is 17 miles south of Sturgis and is right next to one of the best roads we had riddin while there. Vanocker canyon! Troy and ***** are the owners, and they are awesome folks. Try camping here at Nemo, and you wont be dissatisfied.


Our campsite at Nemo with a creek right behind us.


Another pic of tent site.


Devils Tower in WY.


Another angle of the Devils Tower.


Mount Rushmore!!


Crazy Horse!


You can buy this town for $850,000. In WY on the way to the Devils Tower.


Another pic of Crazy Horse.


I loved the Badlands! Very unique place with the prairie dogs and mountain goats.


Badlands!!


My mom and dad with my wife. Thankful they could make this ride with us. We have tried to do it for years.


The 1880 town just west of Murdo SD is worth the stop. Awesome old historical stuff.

This Ferry is the last one to run on the Mississippi river. This was the second time my dad and i had been in it, and it was still great. It is in Hickman Ky, and you are dropped off in Missouri about an hour from Sikeston.


Ferry ride!Love


The KOA we camped in while in the Badlands was nice. Not as crowded as the camping places as you first enter the park.


Great memories!


My wife and mom being themselves.


You wouldnt get it. Lol...


The great times you can have for pretty cheap. Get out and camp and build memories that dont load your wallet down. You wont regret it. Getting up in the night to grab another heated rock for your sleeping bag or just sitting by the fire. Nothing like it.


I hear alot of folks say you cant ride very far on a sportster for what ever excuse they have, but we covered this trip without any issues. The wind was rough at times but, thats part of it. I would like to have a bigger bike one day for long hauls but not to travel because you have a sporty, any excuse is as good as the next.


We havent even got into everyone's pictures yet or video but, ill try to post more from the Needles Highway, Iron Mt Road, Custer park, and Deadwood. Get out and ride. This was my longest trip and the best. Been on several but this one takes the cake. Oh, we couldn't get off work to make it to the ralley, but as far as the week after, roads weren't slammed with people.

It was awesome! Last year the wife and I really started taking a tent with us instead of hotels and we enjoy that more. Something about a fire and waking up and see in the sun come up. Oh, and a lot cheaper.

Sitting here at work ( before it starts ) , taking me away to distant lands and sights that I'll probably never get a chance to see. And the smiles and joy I see in all of your faces makes me smile. Thanks again.

Here are a few I took of my Sturgis stay. The bike was filthy and this nice young lady offered to give it a wash !...b.

Thanks for sharing those pics! That's some beautiful country you got to see, makes me want to tour through there.

Can't beat spending some quality time with you family like that. As long as you get along with them
